VOICES invites the community to this original theatre piece and intergenerational collaboration of Sage (aged 75+) storytellers and Youth (aged 12-15) performers.
Sage VOICES Project amplifies the voices of the Sages in our community through the eyes of the Youth. Sages aged 75 and up, with Youth between the ages of 12-15, engage in the process of devised theater to co-create an original theater piece inspired by their own stories. Through this process, the Sages and Youth form enduring relationships, spark each other’s creative spirit, and relish in the playfulness. The intergenerational ensemble explores possibilities of artistic collaborations through spoken words, movements, music, and theater making. Directed by Tom Cochran.

Damos la más cordial bienvenida a cuentacuentos, personas dedicadas a la escritura o que gustan de escribir en un diario, y oyentes… todas las personas pueden asistir. ¿Tienes un relato? No importa si es escrito o verbal, o si sólo deseas venir a escuchar. Trae tus ideas, páginas en blanco, borradores, amistades, e incluso a tus peques… Esta serie es para celebrar que podemos conectar con otras personas. Lo que desees contribuir y la manera en que desees hacerlo depende de ti. ¡Escríbe! Este programa ha sido creado para personas adultas, pero damos la bienvenida a personas de todas las edades que gusten acompañarlas.
